The Post Where I Tell My Husband's Secret

Eric and I are going on a date tonight. We are going to go for some good sushi and then going to see Breaking Dawn- we even got our tickets last week. Yes, my husband is going with me on opening night to see Breaking Dawn. And no, I am not dragging him along- in fact he is just as excited as I am.A few years back I was somehow living in a rock and had never heard of Twilight. After the first movie came out I started to finally hear some chatter about it and after it had been on video for a while we rented it. I enjoyed it but really wasn't blown away and wondered what all of the fuss was about.

Curiosity got the better of me and I checked out the book from the library, and well let's just say I was soon making my way to the store buying the whole set. I was hooked. My husband humored me and went with me to New Moon on opening night. All he knew of the story was what he had seen in Twilight and a few tidbits I had thrown his way.

He had fun laughing at all of the screaming girls but did actually enjoy the movie. I of course kept telling him how much better the books are.

When Eclipse was coming out- the plan was once again to go on opening night, just this time I was going to have a baby the next day. Yep, I scheduled Ryder's c-section for the day after Eclipse opened so we could have one last night out before his birth. But he came 8 weeks early so that changed that plan. We did see it a couple of months after his birth though.

Then this summer Eric had to help out on a different job- which resulted in his usual 50 minute commute turning into a 2 1/2 hour commute- each way. He survived it by listening to audio books. He first listened to The Hunger Games and a few other books. Then he decided he would listen to the Twilight Series. He said he barely made it through Twilight- but sometime during New Moon he started to like it-- a lot.

So yes, my husband likes Twilight.

We have both been excitedly anticipating Breaking Dawn and watched the first three movies this last week in preparation.

Tonight we will both be sitting in the theater with probably a lot of teenage girls and one of us might even be screaming a bit--though no, I won't tell you which one of us it is.

No way!!!! Your husband sounds like fun!!! :o) To be fair, my husband watches Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice with me every Thursday night, so I can't really complain. ;o)

I am semi into the Twilight thing. I've seen the first two movies and loved them, but haven't seen any since or read the books. I keep telling myself I will when I have time, but I'm not sure that'll ever happen. ;o)

If we had the money and the time, my husband and I would love nothing more than to go see Breaking Dawn. Hubby loves it too! (He's never read the books, but he loves the movies.) Maybe in a month or two we'll be able to go. I am so excited to see it!

I am a fan of the movies but haven't made the time to read the books.. never been a big reader but might have to wait till it comes out on DEMAND on our home tv to see it-- the hubs wouldn't go with me.. hmm.. maybe I can do a girls night out or something soon. Hope you both love it! screamin and all!

So what has he said to you now that you published his secret? I'm not a fan at all, nor couldn't get pass the first chapter of the first book, simply not my style...but I went to see the movie last night the whole social aspect of it and the atmosphere was GREAT!

Yes!! I was in the theater at midnight with my friends - it's tradition now!!

My husband likes the series too!! He has read it and seen all the movies. He just got home from a business trip to England late last night and what are we doing today? Yep, we are going to go see Breaking Dawn this afternoon by his request!!

I hope you had a fun time! I usually see they movies a couple weeks after they're released and drag my husband along. He liked them too, though I'm not sure he's man enough to let me out him on my blog. :)

I love that he went to see it with you! M didn't want to read the Twilight books but he has watched the first 2 movies. He wasn't a big fan. However, he read Hunger Games after I did and he's all pumped to see the movie in a couple of months. HE HATES THE THEATER! Soooo...it's a big thing for me that he's going!! =)
